Official blazon
English	Gules, three griffin's heads erased or, in fess point a heart and in middle chief point a fleur-de-lis argent.

The colours and griffin heads are based on the arms of some Ryan family and used here so symbolise the last name of the bishop.

The heart in the center of the shield commemorates years of service which the bishop gave to the Catholic charity.

The fleur-de-lys symbolises both St. Joseph and St. Mary.
